Presidential Nomination the Only Thing
That WOULD Induce Him tn Enter Politics.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, April l9-It stated that there
is movement to ascertain the feeling of the
people, and especially the soldier element in
reference to the nomination of Lieutenant gen.
eral Phil Sheridan, commander of the army. for
the presidency. He would, of course, be
the Republican nominee, as he is Republican.
II partisan in any sense He has never been
identified with any party. and would therefore.
not be offensive to any one, far as partisan
politics is concerned. He believes, however, that
to the Republican party is due all the credit for
what has been given the negroes. and, therefore,
he would take that vote solidly. He is be-
lever in tariff for protection of our industries as
well as to meet the expenses of tho government.
But the strong claims that his friends are max
ing are in the soldier and negro votes 1t is held
that he would sweep these almost clean This
subject it is stated, has been repeatedly brought
before General Sheridan during the last few
weeks 1t is held by those who have talked to
him that he could poll the full Logan vote, and
more, that he would give enthusiasm to an ele-
ment not easily aroused. General Sheridan. it
is stated much prefers the nomination for the
presidency-irst. because it is a much more
alted position, and secondly, because he does not
ike the idea of presiding over the Senate, as he
would have to do if elected Vice president But
General Sheridan could preside over the Senate
or any other body There is no likelihood how
ever, of General Sheridan being nominated for
the second place the ticket. for, if no other
reason be could not afford to take the place. He
would get $3, 900 year as Vce-presdent, while
he gets $13. 900 year commander of the army
The first position would last but four years,
while the latter will last during life. General
Sheridan would accept the Republican nomina-
tion for the presidency. but will not take the Sec

PARNELL'S ALLEGED LETTER,

An Expert Makes an Examination, but De-
clines to Express Opinion.
LONDON, April 19-Mr. Netherclft, an emf
nent chirographist expert, has compared the
signature attached to the Timess Parnell letter
with two of Mr.. Parnell's signatures, but de-
clines to express positive opinion in the alb
sence of further examples. He says there are
disparities between the signature to the Times
letter and the two others, and that there are
also disparities between the other two He
thinks the fairest comparison would be with
signatures of the same date as that of the Times,
not with signatures recently written, for test
He says that the signature given by the Times,
if false, is very good imitation, but that it
would be unfair to give an opinion based upon
two signatures written for purposes of compari-
son.
Lord Randolph Churchill speaking at Not
tinsham. this evening, said that if the Parnell-
ties chose TO bring an action against the London
Times they need not trust an English jury, be-
cause they can take proceedings against the pa
per in Ireland or Scotland. He would not make
himself a party TO the accusation. but it might
be necessary for the House of Commons, lnde-
pen ndently of the Parnellites, to take action TO
clear itself, as a body, of the grave charges
made against a section of Its members.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Mr.. Parnel is
an Irishman; therefore the Times is allowed to
insult and libel him with impunity We earnest
~ appeal TO the mem DerS or the House or Com
mons. both Sides to do Mr.. Parnell justice
and commit the editor of the Times to the Clock
tower for a breach of privilege"
The Times says it has in its possession several
authentic specimens of Mr. Parnels signature,
all of them written about the same time that
the disputed letter was penned, and which pre-
sent identicaliy the same peculiarities pointed
out by Mr.. Parnell as refuting the genuineness

Ex-PREMIER GLADSTONE.

Brief Discussion of Irish Questions at
Dinner Given by the Eighty Club
LONDON. April 19-Mr. Gladstone spoke at
the dinner given by the Eighty Club, this even
ing. He said that the time had arrived when
it was necessary for the Liberals to measure
their own position and the position of the
Unionists. He never entertained suspicion
that the ParnellItes associated themselves with
crime, and his official knowledge was at least as
good that of Lord Harrington. The
burden OF proof lay upon the accusers.
not upon the accused. Unless the accus-
ers showed a rational probability of the
truth of their charges they were worth
as pests of society. Continuing. Mr.. Gladstone
said he hoped the Liberal Unionists who had
abssined from voting on the second reading of
the crimes bill would ultimately rally against
coei.cion. Nothing had occurred to make the
pro spect of home rule more hopeless than il was
twelve, even six, months ago. Mr. Chamber

failed in his endeavor. But btterest
of all was the sight of Liberals
supporting the coercion BILL He had hoped that
a considerable number of the Liberals who had
voted in favor of the crimes bill would eventu-
ally refuse to accept the measure unless they
were assured that there would he combined with
it bill for the relief of Ireland. For that reas-
on he had asked in the House of Commons yes
terday. the question, ''Would the government
stand or fall by its relief bill as by its coercion
billl' The evasive answer he received showed
that the government meant to force through the
coercion bill and let the relief bill take it's
chances He briefly criticised the purposes and
alleged necessity of the bill, and said that the
question should be referred to the judgment Of
the nation. He did not wish an early dissolu-
tion of Parliament, but they must arouse refec-
ton the part of the electors, andlhs believed
dissolution would produce that effect. Mr..
Gladstone spoke for an hour.

LIFE In THE PENSION BUREAU.

Commissioner Blacks Domineering and Ty-

The Commissioner Of Pensions is a hasty indi-
vidual He has discharged clerk, and the chief
official over that clerk for little pleasantly
that would not have been noticed os a man of
Judicial temperament. An application for
pension, from claimant that had been investi-
gated in the Pension Office, and his statement
suggested several humorous retorts. The chief
of the division, thinking to combine little
pleasure with business, directed of his
clerks, named Cohn, from Wisconsin. to write
playful answer. The letter of the bureau
instead of being forwarded to the claimant, was
transmitted. according to departmental routine.

and that gentleman, constituting the letter to be
a trifing with his dignity, called upon Commits.

The Commissioner, to appease the offended
majesty of Congressman, showed his mental
balance by calling Immediately for the name of
the clerk who had written the Objectionable
document By the initials and by the marks of
the division he was soon possessed or the ia
formation desired. In despotic way he ordered
that Mr. Cohn. from Wisconsin, should be dis

aware of the judgment that had been passed
upon nlIn anu ue Appeared 10 Inc commissioner

a subordinate, subject to the direction and COM
mand of his superiors in Office and that his part
in the affair was simply that of amanuensis.
He had written the letter at the dictation OF his
chief, and he was not responsible in any manner
for its contents. The Commissioner, to show
his authority and lack of judgment. thereupon
ordered the discharge of the official who had dc
tated the letter but he did not restore Mr.. Cohn

speech at Nottingham, said that for forty-five
years Mr.. Gladstone had not wavered in his re-
sistance to the irish Revolutionary party. 1t
would be difficult to calculate how many per-
sons had been executed or imprisoned

ter remembered the numbers of persons
whose lives he had contributed to sacrifice

himself was now advocating From the time
the crimes bill became law, crime would

bill and its reception by Parliament had pro-
duced in Ireland a most beneficial effect. Irish
men would soon tire of paying double taxes. to
the National League and to the Queen. The
moment they that the government had the

Snterviewer he related the cause of the strike,
stating that Bridge. Beach & Co had attempted
arbitration, but unsuccessfully. He says the
advance asked would be at loss to the manu-
facturers; that they are not seeking to crush the
union: on the contrary, he and those associated
with him believe firmly in labor organizations,
but they have rights also. He explained
that at Detroit only do they come in
contact with the Knights of Labor. at other
points the union being predominant. After
calling attention to the fact that the Knights of
Labor in Detroit enabled them to the st.
Louis patterns. Mr.. Cribben said: ''The pat
terms of from twenty-five to thirty-fve stove
foundries will be in Detroit inside of four days.
There is talk of boycotting Bridge, Beach s. Co.,
and all who make their patterns The same
threats heard in other quarters. We will
send patterns here from every district, and give
them an opportunity of boycotting the whole
United State. They will be full patterns of

to-day of settlement of the molders

The latest phase in the situation is the
probability Of the strike extending East. A
moder who was seen this afternoon said that all
the patterns from ''struck" firms that had been

ticipated that these patterns will be received at
all foundries in New York and New England,
which comprise the first and second districts.
and that the in these districts will refuse to
work on the patterns. The strike will then be
